@christinev297 I can't understand how you can't see definition in your legs from walking, since I began walking regularly 3 yrs ago within 3 months my leg were lean and muscly... and since I began running, even more so
@RunRutheeRun It could be because I only walk on flat surfaces. Did you do lots of hill walks?

Why does it have to be wet concrete?
Duh...everyone knows wet concrete is anabolic
Do you even concrete walk, bro?

Not if you take a lot of little steps. That will get you toned.

How fat do you think most serious runners are? Like overweight or obese?
In your experience.
The argument here was that poster said "all walkers and endurance runners are lean."
I'd agree that MANY are. But not all. Walking and running don't make you lean and there are plenty of people who are overweight and achieve great runs while still overeating and carrying extra weight.
No, I said that serious runners are usually very lean. That poster has disagreed because in his experience, serious runners are usually not very lean.
I have no intention of arguing with either answer. I'm just interested about his experience with these non-lean, but serious runners.
We all have different experiences.
Like you, my experience has been that when a person is a serious runner, they'll almost always have a very lean body.
Um....I'm a she.
No, I disgreed because serious runners are not always lean, they can be of normal weight and overweight, and I've seen some I would consider obese. I don't think weight has anything to do with seriousness/committment to running. I'd say when you're committed to running you are serious about it.
You are projecting your own stuff and making a sweepoing generalization obout certain runners.
Now, let me ask you- why do you believe that only serious runner are lean (or only lean runners are serious)?0 -

Nothing to do with what you wrote but... Is that a "Target" ball in your photo?0 -

Haha so true! And when they do that awkward side gait, it does remind me of some body builders
